Specialty coffee & haute cuisine

We are excited to announce one of the most anticipated events at
this year’s Ljubljana Coffee Festival – the Panel Forum on Specialty Coffee & Haute Cuisine.

This forum is of paramount importance for the future of building a robust coffee culture in Slovenia. It will focus on the integration of specialty coffee into high-end cuisine and top-tier restaurants, marking a significant milestone for our growing community.

Slovenia is currently experiencing a dynamic shift with the rising prominence of specialty coffee. As a result, a vibrant community that values and enjoys high-quality coffee is taking shape.

The panel discussion we have curated promises to be a highlight of the festival, featuring some of the most influential international experts in the realm of specialty coffee.

We are honored to host luminaries such as:

  • James Hoffmann, World Barista Champion
  • Tim Wendelboe, World Barista Champion
  • Dale Harris, World Barista Champion
  • Tomaž Bratovž (head chef JB restaurant)
  • Igor Jagodic (head chef of the Michelin-star restaurant Strelec)
  • Mojmir Šiftar (head chef restaurant PEN KLUB).

The objective of this forum is to stimulate a thoughtful discussion on the trends, challenges, and opportunities that specialty coffee brings to high-end restaurants.

The conversation will be moderated by BARISTA MAGAZIN jurnalist Valisileia Fanarioti by the following key questions and topics:

  • Trends in Incorporating Specialty Coffee into Fine Dining: How are leading restaurants worldwide and locally adapting to new trends with specialty coffee?
  • Challenges in Incorporating Specialty Coffee: What are the most significant challenges in integrating specialty coffee into restaurants that already uphold established standards?
  • Opportunities for Enhancing Coffee Offerings: How can restaurants improve their offerings and adapt them to the seasonality and freshness of specialty coffee?
  • Exchange of Ideas and Knowledge: Sharing ideas, practices, and
    innovations to elevate standards and further develop coffee and culinary culture in Slovenia.

We invite all coffee enthusiasts, professionals, and those interested in the evolution of fine dining to join us for this insightful and inspiring panel discussion.

Let us come together to explore and celebrate the intersection of specialty coffee and haute cuisine, and to foster a richer coffee culture in Slovenia.
